Interesting quote from Cubs GM Jim Hendry as reported on The Cub Reporter.
"Some guys are great defensive catchers, some are great offensively and some, like [Mike] Piazza are a combination of both." - Cubs GM Jim Hendry, on Michael Barrett (Chicago Tribune - 4/23/04)
I wonder who Jim thinks is a bad defensive catcher?
In other notes Prior appears ready to throw a simulated game having thrown 55 pitches off the mound in Arizona and so is one step closer to coming back. Good news. Wood was suspended for 5 games today for his antics in last week's loss to the Reds and so will miss a start when he loses the inevitable appeal. The Cubs have been pounded to the tune of 19-1 the last two days in Arizona. Hoping for better results tonight as Greg Maddux takes the mound.
